why gardeners REALLY hate ground hogs!

[Carol Dee]

Happy Birthday Rich.
I hope they never find the garden. The ones we had where AWFUL. They ruined so much produce by just taking a bite or two out of nearly everything in reach. Guess what? They can climb!

Only if you leave it out in the open were the flies can get to it, otherwise it should be fine.

Nope, if I leave them in the open, the vultures get them long before the flies.

Happy Birthday Rich!

Happy Birthday, RICH!

Around here, there are Marmots. Really, they are the same thing - the groundhog is a Marmota somethin'rother. Marmots live from 6,000 feet plus in Colorado to sea level in Alaska. It is just my luck to intercept that line. Imagine a 20# groundhog.

For those with experience, the story is that Marmot meat tastes very rich . . .

Such haters, I love Ground Hog Day, probably because it's my birthday!!!

We didn't have many ground hogs around here until last year when 1 took up residence under our front porch, odd thing was they never bothered the garden, knock on wood.

Happy birthday, Rich! I hope this day was a good one for you.

You'd better be watching that ground hog! They can do a lot of damage with their digging.

Your armadillos have moved this far north but the only ones I have ever seen are playing opossum on the side of the road!!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone.

THANX RICH
